A study found that the average stopping distance of a school bus traveling 50 mph was 264 feet. a group of automotive engineers

decided to conduct a study of its school buses and found that for 40 buses, the average stopping distance of buses traveling 50 mph was 262.3 feet. the standard deviation of the population was 3.0 feet. test the claim that the average stopping distance of this company's buses is actually less than 264 feet. perform an appropriate hypothesis test. be sure to clearly define your parameter, check your conditions, and list all four steps of the test.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  study found that the average stopping distance of a school bus traveling 50 mph was 264 feet.

Sample taken showed the following results

n=40\\\bar x =262.3 feet\\Std dev = \sigma= 3 ft

Since population std deviation is known and sample size is large, z test can be used.

H_0: \bar x=264\\H_a: \bar x

(Left tailed test)

Mean difference = 264-262.3 = 1.7

Std error = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\=\frac{3}{\sqrt{40} } \\=0.474

Z = test statistic = mean diff/std error

= \frac{1.7}{0.474} \\=3.584

p value = 0.00017

Since p < alpha our 0.05 we reject null hypothesis

There is evidence to show that mean is less than 264 feet

(Assumptions:

Sample are randomly drawn

Sample represents the population

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The mean of the combined group is 76.67 ≈ 77

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The sum of the grades in Tom's group is 20×70 = 1400
  2. The sum of grades in Alice's group is 10×90=900
  3. The sum of gradees in the combined group is =1400+900=2300
  4. Then the mean grade of the combined group is \frac{2300}{30}=76.67

where

  • 2300 is the sum of the all grades in the combined group
  • 30 is the total number of people in the group

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

2, 4 ,6 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given condition y = 2x

When x = 1 , y = 2 *1 = 2

When x = 2 , y = 2 * 2= 4

when x = 3 , y = 2* 3 = 6

When x = 4 , y = 2 * 4 = 8

Hope it will help :)
